New Cooking Forum!

[jamesglewisf]

Karenluvs6 asked for it, and she got it!

This place should be lots of fun.

[Karenluvs6]

I am so excited about this!
ya ready ladies?

If you have any requests for certain recipes, just ask and I'll get them posted....if I don't have what you're looking for, rest assured, I'll find it for ya.

any suggestions, I'll take them.

Holidays are approaching fast, and good meals mean so much this time of year. Sometimes, the meal alone can make the holiday special.


Ok Ladies, get those recipes out and start postin'!

oh boy.....I feel like a little kid on Christmas morning.
I have some really cool ideas for 'What's Cooking', and I want to get the ball rolling.

I will be having a daily thread, just like the one I do over in LOL...it will be called 'The Daily Fare'...that will be the recipe of the day.

I am going to start different threads for different types of foods.
For instance, I am making a thread called 'just desserts'....that will be an ongoing thread with recipes for desserts ONLY.
'Pas-ta Salt'....for ALL pasta dishes...also an ongoing thread.
'That's Fowl'....chicken and turkey meals.
etc...
I think you all get the idea, eh?

I am also adding a thread for Kitchen Tips...we all need those sometimes...feel free to add your own.

I want you all to add as many recipes as you wish...I would appreciate any contributions!

[Karenluvs6]

I am going to try to keep this thread on top for a little while, so everyone can read it and see how I am running 'What's Cooking'...ok?....so don't think I am nuts if I keep grabbing this thread and dragging it back up to the top of the others...at least for a week.

[Karenluvs6]

If anyone has any questions about this, or has any ideas other than what I have here....please post them here.

Oooh, ooh ooh! I love the idea of having the recipes seperated into their own categories!! I've tried to get recipe's from different forums and sometimes they were just posted anywhere. It made it really hard to find a recipe sometimes. At least this way, if we see a recipe we want to try we'll know exactly which area to come back to, when we're ready to try it. Great idea!!

How about a Candies/cookies thread? Or do you want that in the desserts? I'd love to get some candy recipes. I make up boxes of homemade candies and cookies around Christmastime, and am always looking for good cookie and candy recipes.

[Karenluvs6]

that's a great idea Blinc!
we will keep the 'Just Desserts' thread, strictly for cakes and such.
Why don't you do the honor of starting the cookies and candy thread?
let's try to think of a really catchy name for it though.

[blinc]

uh oh, nothing like a little pressure to come up with a good name!! {toothy} umm... how about umm... ???? Aaagh! To much pressure! I'll be back if you don't come up with something first!

OOOOOHHHHHHHHH!!! I am so excited about this place! I have a request. I looooove to bake, but living in Colorado, I have had problems with the altitude. Any general tips on how to bake in high altitudes would be appreciated along with any special recipes for us in the mile high city!

[Karenluvs6]

I read your post Roldfiel...I am on it!
I will be posting it under Karen's Kitchen Tips, soon as I can.

[Karenluvs6]

just want to let ya'll know that I am starting another thread in here....in this thread, we will tell all about the recipes from the forum, that each of us has tried.
so don't forget....when you use one of the recipes, don't forget to come back and tell us how ya liked it!

I am posting the answer to your 'how to bake in high altitude' request, over in Karen's Kitchen Tips right now.

Sorry Karen, I couldn't come up with any real good names for the "Cookies and Candies" area. The only thing I've come up with is "The Sweet Tooth" and even worse "Sweets for the Sweetie"... Think you might be ahead to name it yourself because it looks like you've come up with some great names for the other areas!!

[Karenluvs6]

those are not bad.....The Sweet Tooth....is a good one.
oh my something stinks in here....smells like trash!
sorry about that.
anyway.....how about 'Frappy Confections & Cookies'...?
'Sweets & Treats'...ummmm....'Dandy Candy'......erm....well, I don't know.....there are a lot of them we could use.
we'll decide later.

[Debby]

I am really excited about this new forum also!! I will have to get out my recipes when I have more time and post them....I have some great candy recipes Blinc!! I make my own choc. covered cherries every year. I will take the time to copy down a bunch sometime soon!!!

[blinc]

Oh surrreee, just tell me my ideas stink! That's the way to encourage a per... hey, just had an idea. *grin* How about The Confectionary (sp) Corner? Or Confections & Cookies? Sweet Concoctions? (sp) Sorry, my spelling is off this morning I think and I can't find my dicshunairy. {toothy}

I like the Sweets & Treats the best of yours. We've got to name this place so Debby can post her recipes, yum! I love to make homemade candy. It's usually pretty easy to make and tastes sooo much better then store bought.

[Debby]

Yes....I need to post a couple of my candy recipes....I just need to find the time to sit down and type it all out....I am a slow typer...so when there is a name for the candy section...notify me, in case I forget to check!! :)

[Karenluvs6]

there it is Blinc...Debby...the confectionery corner.....just for you all.

[Debby]

Awwww, Thanks Karen, problem is I'm not sure when I will get the time to post all those wonderful candy recipes, but i will try to do it soon....if not, you can always try them for next christmas...lol.

[Karenluvs6]

well, there's no rush Deb....The thread will be here when you're ready to post them.

I can't wait to try some new candy recipes myself.
